An engineer has recently purchased a new piece of equipment to use in analyzing geological formations. The equipment has no maintenance costs the first year due to a one year's free maintenance warranty. In the second year, it is expected to cost $20 to maintain the equipment and in subsequent years the cost of maintenance will increase by $20 per year (i.e. maintenance cost is $40 in year three, $60 in year four, and so on). Approximately what amount must be set aside now at 7% interest to pay the cost of maintaining the equipment over the first six years of ownership?

year. A complete
overhaul at the end of
year 4 costs an extra
$3600.

The original loan of $400,000 was for 7 years. The payments are monthly and the nominal interest rate on the current loan is 6% per year. As of the present time, your company has had the loan for 36 months. The new loan would be for the current balance (i.e. the balance at the end of the 36th month on the old loan) with monthly payments at a nominal interest rate of 3% per year for 4 years. A one-time financing fee for the new loan is $10,000. Your company's MARR is 9% per year on a nominal basis. Determine if the new loan is economically advantageous.

A computational method developed at Carnegie Mellon maps in 3-D the microstructure of aircraft materials in their present state so that engineers can test them under different conditions of moisture, salt, dirt, etc. Military officials can then determine if an aircraft is fine, is in need of overhaul, or should be retired. If the 3-D system allows the Navy to use one airplane 2 years longer than it normally would have been used, thereby delaying the purchase of a $20 million aircraft for 2 years, what is the present worth of the assessment system at an interest rate of 8% per year?arrow_forwardRequired information Eight years ago, Ohio Valley Trucking purchased a large-capacity dump truck for $116,000 to provide short-haul earth- moving services.

Improving the effectiveness and economical use of fertilizer has been identified as an important step in the right direction. Engineers have designed an improved way to transport fertilizer and then to apply it directly at the point where crops are grown. Further development, assessment, and optimization of the necessary equipment is estimated to require $220,000 in year 1, increasing by a gradient of $80,000 in each of years 2, 3, and 4. Then, it will begin to decrease by $95,000 in years 5, 6, 7, and 8. Interest is 14% per year. Part c What gradient series, beginning with the $220,000 in year 1 is equivalent to these cash flows?
